Looking for a frightfully good time this Halloween season? Don't miss the Schaumburg Halloween Carnival and Haunted House of Creeps! I had such a blast on Saturday meeting a bunch of families coming through and checking out my Macaroni KID table in the Craft Tent - I want to do more events like that! Here's what you can see at this spooky wonderland this weekend!

Carnival Thrills for All Ages

The carnival is filled with exciting rides and games for the whole family. From classic favorites like the Ferris wheel and carousel to thrilling coasters, there's something for everyone to enjoy. We especially loved the festive atmosphere with Halloween-themed decorations and spooky characters roaming the grounds.

Kid-Friendly Haunts

If you're looking for a tamer Halloween experience, be sure to check out the Haunted House of Creeps during the kid hours on Saturday and Sunday 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. These hours are specifically designed for children under 13 and feature no jump scares, making it a less intense but still fun adventure. The families coming out had some mixed reactions, some wanting more, some were pleasantly spooked. We're heading with the kids this weekend to check it out too!

Heart-Pounding Haunts for Older Kids and Adults

For those seeking a more thrilling experience, the Haunted House of Creeps offers evening haunts that are not for the faint of heart. Prepare to be scared out of your wits as you navigate through a series of terrifying scenes filled with ghouls, ghosts, and other spooky surprises.

Don't Miss Out!

The Schaumburg Halloween Carnival runs Friday through Sunday, and the Haunted House of Creeps will be open in the evenings until Saturday, November 2. Kid hours for the haunted house are Saturday and Sunday, with a discounted admission price of $10. Evening haunts are best for those over 13 and are $17.50 online in advance or $25 at the door.

Grab your friends and family and head to Schaumburg for a Halloween adventure you won't forget!
